You dont know

While Alfonso and company was having this small conversation in Wasteland Valley, hundreds of kilometers from there, one middle aged man was kneeling on the ground with a fearful expression.

The man was handsome with blond hair and a pair of beautiful purple eyes, funny enough, he was very much like Alfonso if he were older, but, how he couldn't?

After all, he was Alfonso's older brother and the current crown prince of Leitol, Fernando Lockheart.

However, contrary to his usual calm and serene expression, he was currently trembling with fear, as for the reason…

Because of the man in from of him.

The man was currently sitting

"Fernando, you know why I called you?" Said the man.

"Father… I… I know" Said Fernando with difficulty.

"Good, Then, tell me, why did I call you?" Said the emperor.

Fernando furrowed and, with sweating palms, he said

"Because of Alfonso"

"I ask you this, how is he alive?" Said the emperor.

"Father, I- I didn't know that-"

"ANSWER ME!"
